Following Jesus requires surrender and steadfast devotion, even when His teachings are difficult, trusting that true life is found only in Him.
If you’ve ever sat at the kitchen table late at night with a lukewarm cup of coffee and a heavy heart, wondering why following Jesus can feel so wonderfully right and yet wonderfully hard, you’re in good company. The Gospels show real people with real questions, listening to a real Savior who ...read more

God’s justice and faithfulness empower us to pray boldly, resist the enemy, and finish the year with steadfast faith and triumphant praise.
Friends, as we gather today, I sense a hush of holy expectation. The kind that settles the soul and steadies the heart. The year has been full of peaks and potholes, headlines and heartaches, but here we are—still held, still hearing the whisper of a faithful God. Some of us carry victories we ...read more

God’s mercy meets us in our deepest failures, offering forgiveness, cleansing, and restoration when we honestly confess and turn to Him with humble hearts.
If you’ve ever sat in the quiet and felt the ache of regret—the kind that whispers, “How did I end up here?”—you’re in good company. If you’ve replayed a conversation you can’t unsay, a click you can’t undo, a glance that went too far, a promise you didn’t keep, you’re not alone. The Bible doesn’t ...read more
Scripture: Psalm 51:1-13
Topics: Sin, Confession
Trust God’s presence and providence when facing hostility or fear, relying on His protection and grace instead of reacting with anger or self-defense.
Some of us walked in today weary, worried, and worn. You’ve been dodging spears you never asked for—sharp words at work, quiet tensions at home, old wounds that seem to whisper fresh threats. It feels like you’re playing the harp in Saul’s palace—trying to bring calm—while a javelin sits poised in ...read more
Scripture: 1 Samuel 19:1-24
Topics: Forgiveness, Resilience

If you’ve ever closed a well-worn journal, you know the gentle weight of a last line. Ink fades, pages wrinkle, and somewhere in the hush after the final sentence, a story settles.

David is so creative about praising God, that he could tell of God’s amazing deliverance from A to Z! Many of you could say the Lord has delivered me. But could you give twenty-plus praises for how the Lord delivered you?

As we look at our Gregorian calendars there are three hundred and sixty five days on our calendars. Most of the days are just routine days that we do the same thing day after day.
But there are some days that are special, and we look forward to them.
